Little Witch Ornament

This little witch ornament is created from a clear plastic light bulb
ornament. I love that craft manufacturers are making these
now. Plastic will not break like glass, and the tops are easy
to pop off {they are so easy to work with, and ready to
stuff!} I chose to use a hot glue gun because I love how
quick the bond forms. This craft is easy enough for children, but don't
have them use a hot glue gun. Pick a tacky glue
that will bond quickly. Or, work with the child. They will
have fun stuffing in the green packing fill, while you operate the hot
glue gun.

Where to place this little witch? If you have one of those spooky
looking, black wire Halloween trees, then she would be the perfect
little ornament. However, I have found a place for my witch
hanging in the middle of my front door Halloween wreath. She
would look cute hanging over your kitchen sink or from a door knob, too!

Witch Ornament Instructions

1. Below is a picture of the things you will need for this
project, along with some helpful Amazon product links:

2. To begin the witch ornament, remove the top from the
light bulb ornament
by popping it off. You need to fill the inside of the
ornament with
the green sparkle shred. I found the easiest way to do this is to form
a cone with a piece of paper to create a funnel. Place the
funnel into
the opening of the ornament, and stuff the green shred through the
funnel using a pencil to push it down. Replace the ornament
top.

3. To create the witch's hair, grab a nice handful of the
black shred. While cupping the "hair" in your hand, apply a
liberal amount of glue to the surface of the shred. Be
careful if you are using a hot glue gun! Then, press the hair to the
back and top of the ornament. Once it is bonded, you can then
work with the hair, adding on more glue where it is needed.

3. Now, you can give your witch a haircut. Clip the
hair whatever length you like.

4. The next step is to get her hat
secure. I cut a small hole at the top of the hat.

5. Fold a length of black ribbon in half. Tie the
ends of this ribbon around the ornament hook. You should have
a loop.

6. Thread the loop through the hole inside the hat and pull
it through. The loop is for hanging your ornament.
I chose to secure the hat more firmly to the top of the ornament by
applying a bit of hot glue. I also wrapped and glued a small
piece of orange ribbon around the brim of the hat.

7. Next is to create the witch's face. You can use
some creativity here! I bet a polymer clay nose would look
great. Or, you could cut cartoony eyes and a mouth out of
paper or felt and glue them on. I decided to glue on two
large googly eyes, a small green ornament ball I had on hand, and drew
on a wavy mouth with a black Sharpie.

8. The witch ornament is all ready for hanging
